Nodejs-Search

A Simple search project implemented using nodejs and meilisearch.

How to

• Clone the repo and cd into it
• Create an env file

cp env.example .env

• Run postgres and meilisearch servers using

docker-compose up -d

• Install all the packages using

npm install

• Run database migrations which creates a simple users table

npx knex migrate:latest

• Seed the users table with random 10k users

npx knex seed:run

• Index the users table for faster search

node tasks/indexUsers.js

• Run the nodejs app

npm run dev

Using the Search API

Use postman, curl or axios. In the above example, I am using httpie
